Health strategy for people who are building something that matters.
Chris Vandivort MD
The Problem
The standard medical system was not designed for you.
You probably have a doctor who glances at a basic panel once a year and tells you everything looks fine. The visit is only fifteen minutes, and somewhere between shuffling in and shuffling out, you didn’t even ask the one question you came in with.
The wellness industry fills that gap with noise. A new supplement stack every month. A new protocol from a new influencer. Complexity sold as sophistication, because simplicity is not profitable.
You do not need a new protocol. You need a framework that works, a deep partnership with a physician who thinks in decades, and a system you will actually follow for the next thirty years.
My Approach
We are evolutionary beings living in a world our bodies were never designed for. That mismatch is at the root of most modern health and performance problems.
But evolutionary logic only goes so far. I would never give up the wonders of the modern world and engage with it fully. What’s more, evolution cared only about passing on genes, not about your health at fifty or seventy. It left real vulnerabilities: cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia, and hormonal decline.
Modern medicine can now find these decades before they surface and act on them with precision.
My philosophy: build your life around what human biology actually needs. Then use modern medicine to protect the places evolution left exposed.

Well-being
I’m Chris Vandivort, a physician based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I spent years working night shifts in the emergency room watching what happens when health falls apart. I saw heart attacks decades in the making, metabolic disasters that could have been prevented long before they reached my department. I kept thinking the same thing: why are we waiting for people to break before we help them?
The irony was that I wasn’t exactly thriving myself. I had read everything and could debate biohacking minutiae with anyone, but I didn’t have the body, the energy, or the life I wanted.
Everything changed when I went back to first principles and focused on what actually works in real life.
Who I Am
How I Work
This is an annual membership. Not a one-off consultation. Not a quick-fix protocol.
We form a deep, longitudinal relationship where I come to understand your biology, your goals, your life, and your risks, and we build a strategy together that evolves as you do.
-
I work with a limited number of clients so I can give each one the attention and depth this requires. You are not a number, and we don’t set time limits.
-
Advanced bloodwork, body composition analysis, cardiovascular fitness testing, genetic risk profiling, hormonal panels, and more. We look at everything your regular doctor does not.
-
Not a binder of recommendations that gathers dust. A living strategy across all five pillars, built around your actual life, with the structure and accountability to make it stick.
-
Regular check-ins, diagnostics trended over time, and direct access to me when you need it. Predominantly telehealth, so your location is not a barrier.
